Les sept soeurs d'Aplièse, réunies à bord du Titan, rendent un dernier hommage à leur père, l'énigmatique milliardaire Pa Salt. Si chacune a découvert sa propre histoire, la véritable identité de leur Pa bien-aimé leur est inconnue. Les réponses se trouvent peut-être dans le journal qu'il leur a laissé en héritage. Tout commence en effet en 1928 à Paris, lorsqu'un jeune garçon, retrouvé quasi mort au détour d'une ruelle, refuse de prononcer le moindre mot. Seul son don exceptionnel pour la musique lui permet de nouer des liens profonds avec les membres de la famille qui l'a recueilli. Auprès d'elle, il soigne peu à peu les blessures de son passé. Mais dans une Europe aux prises avec les heures les plus sombres jamais connues, il sait qu'il devra tôt ou tard fuir à nouveau... La conclusion de la saga phénomène révèle son plus grand secret !

THE INSTANT #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM LUCINDA RILEY
Discover how the story ends - and how it all began.
Maia, Ally, Star, CeCe, Tiggy, Electra and their long-lost missing sister are gathered together for the first time, on board the Titan, to say a final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
He has entrusted each of them with a clue to their past. But for every truth revealed another question emerges. How did Pa Salt amass his fortune? Why did he choose to adopt the sisters and why were they chosen from such different parts of the world? Have the answers been there all along, if only they had known where to find them?
The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew - and, even more shockingly, that his long-buried secrets may still echo through the generations today.
In Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, the epic conclusion to the internationally bestselling Seven Sisters series, everything will be revealed at last.

Years later, Leah takes the modelling world by storm, travelling from Milan to London and New York and living life in the lap of luxury. But her past follows her like a dark shadow, mysteriously intertwined with the tragic tale of two young siblings in Poland during the Second World War.
As two generations of secrets threaten to explode, Leah is haunted by a fatal, forgotten prophecy from her past, and must fight to challenge the destiny that has been mapped out for her in the stars . . .

Twenty years later, The Fishermen agree to re-form for the Music for Life charity concert at Wembley Stadium. But Con has been missing for more than a decade. There's only one person who can find out what happened; only one person who knows how vital it is to uncover the truth.
